Hello,
I'm working on a project that will use a resistive heater to warm water up to 50C. I'm trying to select the correct fuse.
The mains voltage where this can be installed may vary between 210VAC to 250VAC.
Heater Specs:
Rated Voltage (VAC) 240
Rated Power (W) 1000
Calculated Rated Current (A) 4.17
min HTR Resistance 53
max HTR Resistance 61.3
I think a 5A fuse should do it like (GDC-5A), but not sure if it's enough de-rating. That fuse also has a breaking current of only 50A and might be too low in case of short. Another thing I was going to use is a fuse holder (FPG4) and connector (15-31-1066) which I believe are sufficient.
What ya guys think?
